You may want to print out these instructions or save them to your desktop as a text file with Notepad because we will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet.

Please make sure your version of About:Buster is updated before beginning. Also, please make sure you have updated Ad-aware SE as well.

Make sure your settings allow you to view "Hidden files". Open up any explorer windows and click on "Tools" => "Folder Options" => "View" and be sure to check off "Show Hidden Files and Folders".

Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once => Click Task Manager => Click the Processes tab => Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the processes => Scroll through the list and look for "C:\WINDOWS\iekk.exe" . If you find the file, click on it, and then click End Process => Exit the Task Manager.

Run HiJackThis. Click on "None of the above, just start the program". Now, click on the "Config" button (bottom right), then click on "Misc Tools", then click on "Delete an NT Service" a window will pop up. Enter the below item into that field (copy and paste):

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper

Click ok.

It should pull up information about the service, when it asks if you want to reboot now click YES.

Run About:Buster & Ad-aware SE that you updated earlier in this fix. Please run them one at a time, not concurrently.

Two files (Possibly three) were also deleted from your computer and need to be replaced.

control.exe - Go to Merijn Files (control) and download the version of control.exe for your operating system. If you are running Windows 2000, copy it to c:\winnt\system32\. For Windows XP, copy it to c:\windows\system32\.

If you have Spybot S&D installed you will also need to replace one file. Go here: Merijn's Files (sdhelper) and download SDHelper.dll. Copy the file to the folder containing you Spybot S&D program (normally C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy)

OK, let's try this again. Delete the old reg file I had ytou download & re-download the new one as the instructions tell you to.

You may want to print out these instructions or save them to your desktop as a text file with Notepad because we will be restarting into Safe Mode later on in the fix and you might not be able to access the Internet.

Extract the zip file to your C: drive. Once it is extracted there will be a directory on your C: drive called ServiceFilter. Inside the C:\ServiceFilter directory will be a file called ServiceFilter.vbs. Simply double-click on the ServiceFilter.vbs. When the script finishes a wordpad document should open with the unknown services listed in it.

If the script could not access wordpad then you will see a message box telling you so. In that case you need to open POST_THIS.TXT by double-clicking it and pasting the contents as a reply to this topic. Please provide a brand new hijackthis log as well in this reply.

1) Disconnect your computer from the Internet. Yank the cord if need be.

2) Disable Norton. Turn it completely off. Disable anything else you may have running to protect your pc - I don't see anything in the log, but you would know best!

3) Now let's run the fix again:

results from Panda Scaninfected - 202disinfected - 16

I go through all the steps and get to the point of rebooting in normal mode. Then I reconnect to the internet in order to do the Panda Scan (It still won't open the TrendMicro Housecall page). My home page is back to google.com which is what it is supposed to be. However after staying connected for a minute or two everything goes screwy again. Homepage is changed back to "about:blank"
